We just got back from the fire works. The temperature just dropped below 100 for the evening and were getting ready for bed.3 hours ago: We were sitting on the couch in the comfort of our AC, watching some Friends DVDs. We had talked about going to see the fireworks earlier but it was still about 108 degrees out as the sun was setting. We werent very excited about going down town and fighting with the 1.5 million other people that live in this city for a parking spot only to have to sit in pools of our own sweat. Finally, Jaime said LETS GO! And I said OK!
A couple miles south of our appartment is a small mountian preserve that has trails you can hike. We decided that wed check that out. If we could make it to the top wed be able to see everything. So we filled up our water bottles, put on our hiking boots and went out. After about half an hour of hiking we started getting to the steeper stuff. We turned around to see how far we had come and below us was all of north and west Phoenix. Then we noticed that we could see fireworks in 3 different places. We decided to get a little bit higher and sat down and watched the show. Over the next hour we were able to see 5 different fireworks shows. It was amazing. All around us there were bright flashes of red, white and blue. You could only faintly hear the explosions but the sight of it was magical.
